Surprise. Sustain. Succeed.

Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

— Og Mandino

Hard times can happen to anyone at anytime. For those that truly want to have a comeback at life, there are shelters, resources and services to help get these families back on their feet.

Project Elf Dallas was founded on the spirit of helping those people who are taking an active role in transitioning back into a normal life.

Surprise

When you don't have anything to your name, the holidays can be depressing and lonely. Project Elf Dallas takes great pride in providing the magic and spirit of the holiday to homeless families and children to make the season special and enriching.

Sustain

By providing the necessities and furnishings to make a house a home, it gives a family something to be proud of and want to maintain.

Succeed

The foundation is now set and gives the family opportunity and encouragement to succeed. We believe it provides incentive to a transitioning family to keep working at their efforts and not give up - sustain the "gift" we've given them.

Fundraising

Everything we do in our projects is completely dependent upon the community, donations, and our fundraising events.

Check our Events page frequently for ways you can contribute, or use our Donation link below.

Thank you for supporting our cause!

Our team of Elves come with backgrounds in design, home decorating, sponsorships, and business networks which is heavily utilized to pull-off our annual project.

While our main project happens once a year each December, it takes months to plan, prepare, and choose our annual family project.

Project Elf Dallas is committed to creative and intimate design of a home, or providing necessities for a transitioning homeless family to a new, normal life.

Our Resources

We work with Dallas Life, the largest homeless shelter in North Texas, to sponsor an approved family (or single parent or individual). Upon graduation of the Dallas Life program, the family obtains their own apartment and often times has few, if any, furnishings to outfit their home. Project Elf goes into action to decorate the family's apartment at Christmas time, including donated gifts and Christmas decorations.

Vogel Alcove provides the youngest children of homeless families the foundation for success. We team with Vogel Alcove to provide toys, surprises, gift cards, and magic to these blessed children at Christmas time.

We feel that we help enable hope, joy, and purpose for the family.

Amy G., Amy P, Brian, Ian and Rachel are the Elves behind the magic!
